Federal agents detained<\/span> a Columbia University student at university housing early on Thursday morning, according interim Columbia President Claire Shipman.<\/p>\n In an email to the university community that was obtained by The Intercept, Shipman said that agents with the Department of Homeland Security entered a Columbia residential housing building and detained the student, who has not been publicly identified, at approximately 6:30 a.m. on Thursday.<\/p>\n \u201c??Our understanding at this time is that the federal agents made misrepresentations to gain entry to the building to search for a \u2018missing person,\u2019\u201d Shipman said in her email.<\/p>\n Shipman implored members of the university community to not let unidentified people into campus buildings without a judicial warrant.<\/p>\n \u201c??It is important to reiterate that all law enforcement agents must have a judicial warrant or judicial subpoena to access non-public areas of the University, including housing,\u201d Shipman wrote. \u201cAn administrative warrant is not sufficient.\u201d<\/p>\n The Department of Homeland Security, New York Police Department, City Hall, and Shipman\u2019s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n The incident took place less than 25 hours after students rallied on campus<\/a> to demand protections for international students as well as calling for the release of Leqaa Kordia<\/a>, a Palestinian student who has been in federal custody since her arrest by immigration agents nearly a year ago.<\/p>\n This is a developing story and will be updated.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n #Feds #Misrepresentations #Enter #Campus #Housing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Federal agents detained a Colu… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25455,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[246],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25454"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25454"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25454\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/25455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
